Unveiling the paradoxical truth behind society’s perception of fame as the ultimate symbol of success and fortune, a group of courageous actors fearlessly shatter the illusion, candidly expressing their genuine disdain for the adoration and recognition that seemingly everyone desires.
Julie Roberts
In a 1991 interview with Entertainment Weekly, the highly renowned actress expressed her frustration with rumors surrounding her. She emphasized the absurdity of having to address false claims that have never been a part of her life. Despite the lack of truth behind these rumors, she felt compelled to provide clarifications due to the widespread coverage in various newspapers, particularly in relation to accusations of drug addiction.
Jennifer Lawrence
During a 2013 interview with Vogue, she openly expressed her discomfort with being famous, stating that she simply wasn’t okay with it. Emphasizing her desire for a normal life, she acknowledged her own humanity and admitted that she hadn’t been in the public eye long enough to accept fame as her new normal. She made it clear that finding peace with her celebrity status was not something she anticipated or sought.
George Clooney
Despite his popularity, he does not relish being in the spotlight. Clooney believes that the allure of fame can be dangerous, as it may distract from the true essence of his profession.

Megan Fox
During a 2013 interview with Esquire magazine, she revealed the often misunderstood downsides of fame. She passionately conveyed that fame brings constant scrutiny and compared it to enduring widespread bullying on a global scale.
Daniel Radcliffe
In a 2019 interview, he discussed his childhood experience with fame, acknowledging that it wasn’t always pleasant. One aspect that deeply affected him was being booed by people and encountering aggressive professional autograph hunters. While some individuals approached him respectfully, others would boo and shout hurtful things, even at a young age. The negative reception and derogatory comments took a toll on him as a child, leaving a disheartening impact on his spirits.
Billie Eilish
In a 2019 interview with 3voor12 Extra, she revealed that her teenage years were overshadowed by her early fame at the age of 13. She remarked on the lack of formal training or educational resources available to prepare her for the complexities of being famous.
Brad Pitt
During an interview in 2009 Brad said, “It’s everything we didn’t sign up for… There’s this whole other entity that you get sucked into. You have to go and sell your wares… Somehow you’re not supporting your film if you don’t get out on a show and talk about your personal life. It has nothing to do with why I do this.”
Kristen Stewart
During a 2015 interview with Harper’s Bazaar, she expressed her disdain for fame, deeming it as the worst thing in the world, particularly when it lacks purpose. Questioning the motives behind desiring fame, she rhetorically asked why anyone would aspire to be famous if they don’t contribute anything meaningful. Her statement highlighted her belief that fame, in and of itself, holds little value without a substantial impact or purposeful endeavors.
Gigi Hadid
In a 2017 interview with Harper’s Bazaar, the model shared her experience of losing friends due to fame. She revealed that her busy schedule would cause temporary periods of limited contact, and if her friends didn’t initiate communication during those times, they would perceive her as having changed. Despite this, she expressed contentment with the friends she currently has, suggesting that she values those who understand and accept the demands of her career.
Robert Pattinson
During the peak of the Twilight series, Robert opened up about the overwhelming paparazzi attention, stating in an interview with Spanish GQ that it prevented him from even going to the grocery store.
